Some were saying the output cups fit a little sloppy on the diff outdrives, but had eliminated their breaking problem.

I was wondering about the old t/emaxx sliders... I have a bunch. Where can you get 6x11 bearings? I will give avid and boca a try.

What we need is a hub setup that would use revo sliders...

The stubs are weak for the weight of the truck, and the shocks bottom out transfering the force to the stub. Especially in a rollover situation where the chassis isn't hitting the ground preventing the suspension from bottoming out. I've read alot of cases of people bending stub axles with plastic carriers and it seems those going with 1/8 scale buggy shocks don't have issues with the stubs anymore.

Which 1/8 buggy shocks? Fronts and rears, seeing that the pede uses different length shocks?

Maybe go with lst shocks!!!
